when my friend did it, he encoded all of the nice little moon shots we included as a multi-part RAR file and we seeded 10-15 bad torrents each using popular names of other piraters.

And of course something else that would work even better.

Seed up torrents that contain whatever (it would be best if they contained the demo or something that could be mis-identified as SEV without containing junk files) , then when they are at around 95-98%, disconnect them. That way the entire torrent will never be downloaded, and it takes a long time for people to usually realize they have a dead torrent when it gets up to that kind of level.

This bypasses the problem of the downloaders discovering that they have a bad torrent, and spreading the news.

I have no problems with people who download avaiable software that they eventually buy. My problem is with the person or persons posting Space Empires V and Dominions 3 to these sites. Those are the POS's that I dislike.

Alow me to clarify. I don't blame the pirating of space empires v or Dominions 3 on the people who chose to download the software, I blame it on the person(s) who uploaded it in the first place.

I don't want to sound calus, but I ONLY care about space empires V and Dominions 3 and that was the whole purpose behind my posts here. Whoever posted those two games to the BT sites is the pirate and that person should be held responsible for all the sales lost to both game publishers.

I would hope that any one who downloads these games would choose to buy them in order to support future games.

AT, you realize with a torrent that everyone who downloads also uploads, right?

Yes, but I blame the guys who ORIGINALLY seeded the games not the people using the network.
